alienation, noun: the state or experience of being isolated from a group or an activity to which one should belong or in which one should be involved.For this writing assignment, focus on the two short stories “A Little Cloud” and “A Painful Case.”In both of these stories, Joyce presents protagonists who are alienated from their surroundings. This alienation takes several forms and exists to varying degrees: alienation from self; alienation from women (spouses or romantic interests); alienation from working conditions, country, community, and family.In at least a paragraph or two, and using several examples from both stories, write about how the theme of alienation runs through the stories and is manifested in the characters, dialogue, and actions.*Note: Your essays (3-4) pages will primarily focus on the last, and longest, short story in this collection, “The Dead.” This is one of Joyce’s most famous short stories. Read it carefully and be prepared to write at length on it. As you’ve surmised by now, “Dubliners” is a collection of stories in which Dubliners deal with, experience, and grapple with the vicissitudes and challenges life presents. One of the key features of many, if not all, of the stories is the respective protagonists having an epiphany about some aspect of his or her life. There are many ways to think of an epiphany, but in the context of these stories, the character having an epiphany realizes something profound and fundamental about the the way he or she is living his or her life: the consequences of the decisions he or she has made; things that have been lost; opportunities that have been missed, etc. Keep this is mind as you read “The Dead” as this notion (epiphanies) will be at the heart of your essay on the story.

Explore Film Adaptation by Examining The Long Goodbye
By all accounts, Robert Altman’s adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s The Long Goodbye is a “deliberate departure” from the novel, not a “faithful” adaptation with strict “fidelity” to its source. The article, “Adaptation” by Robert Merrill discusses the extremely divided and diverse critical responses to the 1973 film. Some some critics call it a “travesty” but others point out how the film is “essentially faithful to the spirit of Chandler” and an example of “how adaptation may work best when it does not strive to be very literal or even, in some senses of the word, very faithful.”
Write a 450-500 word essay about The Long Goodbye as an adaptation of the novel in relation to this quotation: “A successful adaptation balances ‘the comfort of ritual and recognition with the delight of surprise and novelty,’ not only carrying the aura with it, but contributing to its continual expansion.”
To craft your response, please adhere to each of the following criteria:

Have a thesis statement and supportive points
Use specific passages from the novel and scenes from the film to support your view (and use in-text citations).
Also support your view from at least two of the three assigned articles on the Module 12 Overview page and use in-text citations. As a reminder, these are the following: 

Article on “Adaptation” from The Chicago School of Media Theory;
Turner Classic Movies page on The Long Goodbye by Sean Axmaker;
“Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye: Adaptation or Travesty?” by Robert Merrill.

Focus your commentary on specific elements of the film that differs from the novel. Discuss the effects on the overall “spirit of the original.”

As we discussed in this session’s lecture, your level of Introversion vs. Extroversion makes a big difference in the types and amount of social interaction that is ideal for you. For this learning activity, you will explore your level of Introversion/Extroversion as a means to better understand yourself and your own social needs. Go to the Extroversion Introversion Test siteTake their online assessment “Extroversion Introversion Test”. Copy and paste your results into a MS Word document Titled “Journal Entry: Who Am I?”Following your results, answer the following questions to complete your Journal Entry using APA formatting and utilizing at least 2-3 paragraphs. Does this seem to describe you? What seems like you and what doesn’t?How does your level of introversion/extroversion help or hurt you in communicating with others? What are your needs to socialize effectively?How can you use your style of communicating to work in further God’s kingdom?Extroversion Introversion Test result: According to your results you appear to be the type of person who enjoys socializing with both large and smaller, more intimate groups of people. You don’t mind being around big crowds, but that doesn’t mean you’ll want to crash every party you’re invited to. Having an active social life and extending your network of friends is relatively important to you, but it isn’t the most crucial thing. You’ve managed to strike a great balance between actively involving yourself in your larger social network, and spending some quality time with a few intimate friends. Although you may not always be the conversation-starter or the “life of the party”, you are generally a very outgoing individual, whether among friends or people you are less familiar with.

solved An annotated bibliography is basically the same as any works

/in /by

An annotated bibliography is basically the same as any works cited or references page but, and there is one big difference: after each reference, there are a few brief sentences summarizing the contents of the reference listed above it in the bibliography. The bibliography is still a list of sources in alphabetical order, but the difference is the summary of the article, book, or any other source appears immediately below the MLA reference–and this is called the annotation, hence an “annotated” bibliography. If you have any questions, Google annotated bibliography examples and look at one or more. To save time and be working on your documented essay at the same time, there is some logic to using the research items for Pedro Paramo, Magical Realism, and Juan Rulfo for this assignment. You will be working on your documented essay as you do so, as well as meeting the requirements for this week’s assignment. As always, if you have even the smallest question, please email the instructor. There is an example of an annotated bibliography posted in the Module 7 materials. The documented essay topic is Pedro Paramo, and the assignment section will tell you more about where you are going with this topic.For the Annotated Bibliography submission, use NO sources unless they have an author’s name. For the minimum three sources you must have on your final Works Cited page of Essay 4, again, any sources without an author’s name will NOT COUNT. If you have to have one of these, than you must have four or more sources because the minimum of three quoted sources ONLY COUNT IF they have an author’s name. Having an author’s name makes creating your works cited very easy, and it also makes creating your parenthetical references in the paper equally easy.

The deadline for your paper is end-of-the-day Wednesday, May 12. Late submissions will not be accepted. Remember to double-space type your paper, and to provide a Works Cited page.Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, Jean Cocteau’s Orpheus, Jack Spicer’s After Lorca Prompt #1: Del Toro’s un-fairy tale ending of Pan’s Labyrinth problematizes any clear-cut way to read the film. Ofelia dies, and while the narration suggests she returns to her homeland (and her royal family) after proving herself worthy, the image of Mercedes as she looks on Ofelia’s dead body and how she reacts to El Capitan’s pleas for his baby boy still linger. Is Del Toro’s film an allegory where imagination triumphs over fascism, or a fairy tale that cannot escape the fascist reign of violence that envelops it?Prompt #2: Is Cocteau’s film an allegory where the poet’s imagination triumphs over the humdrum of daily life, bringing new forms and energy into the world, or a dark fairy tale about domesticity, marriage, and the boundaries of love and death?Prompt #3: Spicer argues in one of his letters to Garcia Lorca that poetry is something unexplained—like a place in a map that says that after this is desert. A shorthand to admit the unknown. That allows the poet to bring objects across language(s) and time. What connections do you find between Spicer’s conception that the real is not within us, but outside of us, and that it can manifest itself only in the language of the poet if s/he allows it to dictate to him/her, and Cocteau’s treatment of the ancient myth of Orpheus?

/in /by

A claim that is not debatable does not qualify as a thesis—for example:
“Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a play about a young man who seeks revenge”.
That doesn’t say anything-it’s basically just a summary and is hardly debatable.
Here is an example of a stronger, more debatable thesis:
“Hamlet experiences internal conflict because he is in love with his mother”.
This is arguable, controversial even. The rest of a paper with this argument as its thesis will be an attempt to show, using specific examples from the text and evidence from scholars, (1) how Hamlet is in love with his mother, (2) why he’s in love with her, and (3) what implications there are for reading the play in this manner.
Note that a thesis, just like the Point in your paragraph is an opinion/claim. The difference is that the thesis is the claim of the whole essay while a Point is the claim of that specific paragraph. Often the Points are reasons/sub-claims for the big thesis. 
I like to think about the thesis in terms of a limited subject (what you are talking about) and an attitude (what you have to say or argue about the topic.) For our purposes for Essay 1, the limited subject is Gaiman’s argument in “Why Our Future Depends on Libraries” and your attitude is whether you agree with him or not.
Learning Objective:
You will practice writing a strong thesis statement in order to later develop effective, thesis-driven essays which demonstrate the principles of argumentation.
Directions:Let’s Write
Essay structure is important, and we will be learning more about that, but all good essays begin with a good introduction that includes a strong, clear thesis.  The thesis is the last sentence of your introduction, and it makes the overall argument for the whole essay.
